Compatible Formats
In order to ensure playback, discs must conform
with DVD and CD standards. This unit may not
play some recordings or files due to differences
in recording formats, software used and disc
types.
DVD-Video
Digital video discs - 12 cm, single or
double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs
are high density optical discs on which
high quality picture and audio are
recorded by means of digital signals.
DVD-R, DVD-RW
Most DVD-R (one recording only) and
DVD-RW discs (rewritable), depending on
the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings
using DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be
made in Video DVD mode.
Audio CDs
Audio CDs (12 cm).
CD-R, CD-RW
Most CD-R (one recording only) and
CD-RW discs (rewritable).
CD-Rs written during a multisession recording
can be played, provided that the session has
ended before the disc is played (depending on
the write software).
However, depending on the condition of the CD-
writer, computer and the disc used, you may find
that not all discs will play. When playing a CD-R disc,
it is normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to
recognize the disc before starting to play.
If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20
seconds, remove the disc, and insert it again.
